The Crook Page #4

---

Swiss cooking's nothing to rave about.

You don't know how glad I am you called.

I was so worried about you.

I keep watching the news on TV,

the headlines.

You don't want me to do anything?

No.

You mean you don't need me?

Not right now.

I'll keep in touch with you.

How much will it be?

Ninety francs with the phone call.

You know, this is Brussels.

I was about to say,

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you, sir.

- They found the Peugeot.

- By the Belgian border.

Thank you.

Get me Brussels.

Hello, Bill. It's me. I'm sure you know who.

Listen carefully

because I haven't got much time.

Yesterday, before I talked to you,

one of my buddies bailed me out.

That quartet of Beethovens I gave you...

one of the four can't play in tune.

Do you follow me?

Well, it doesn't matter.

We'll settle it when you get back.

Where are you?

London?

When you get starved for some good chow...

I know a place called Willy's. It's in Soho.

Just tell them I sent you.

And don't let Beethoven worry you.

So long, baby.

With any luck he'll turn up

at Willy's in Soho.

- I hope your information is right.

- So long.

It seems he called Bill from London.

You see? It doesn't mean

you have to go to Belgium.

I thought it was the police.

I'm so glad you are here.

How were you able to get back so fast?

There's no place like home.

Good food, bed, perfect hideout.

But did you come back for me,

or for a place to hide?

For a place to hide.

Was it hard to get out of Switzerland?

Very.

Look, I went to Switzerland

to pick this up for you.

Smuggling it out was quite a job.

You have nothing here but hundreds?

Makes it easier to count.

Suspicious?

No, routine precaution.

Mind if I call Paris?

Help yourself, you dial 00, then 31.

- Yes, who is it?

- Hello.

- Speak a bit louder.

- Hello!

- Everything is going as planned?

- Everything is going as planned.

- No trouble, dear?

- No trouble, dear.

I'm leaving Geneva tonight.

Remember to get the cigars you like.

You know, the ones you like best, Habanas.

I won't forget. Goodbye, sweetheart.

- Goodbye, dear. I love you.

- I love you, too.

You did that perfectly.

You're a real Mata Hari.

Good work.

The food's not much in Switzerland, huh?

Don't believe it.

When you know the place, it's really great.

The name was Charles, wasn't it?

Charlie. No foam on it.

Didn't you eat on the plane?

Sure, it was great.

Tell me, is she okay?

Great, this lobster dish, perfect.

Wait till you sample her couscous.

By the way, there's one thing

you never explained to me.

The bread.

Why didn't you give it to Martine?

Because I like her too much.

It was the only way to protect her.

Everything all right? You got everything?
